FASTA/SSEARCH/GGSEARCH/GLSEARCH < Sequence Similarity ...
FASTA (pronounced FAST-AYE) is a suite of programs for searching nucleotide or protein databases with a query sequence. FASTA itself performs a local heuristic search of a protein or nucleotide database for a query of the same type. FASTX and FASTY translate a nucleotide query for searching a protein database. TFASTX and TFASTY translate a nucleotide database to be searched with a protein query.

Contig - Wikipedia
A contig (from contiguous) is a set of overlapping DNA segments that together represent a consensus region of DNA. In bottom-up sequencing projects, a contig refers to overlapping sequence data (reads); in top-down sequencing projects, contig refers to the overlapping clones that form a physical map of the genome that is used to guide sequencing and assembly.

Molecular mapping: Genetic and physical maps. | Science 2.0
Genes are the basic physical and functional units of heredity. “A gene is a specific sequence of nucleotide bases, whose sequences carry the information required for constructing proteins, which provide the structural components of cells and tissues as well as enzymes for essential biochemical ...

OMIM Entry - * 190990 - TROPOMYOSIN 2; TPM2
Laing et al. (1995) referred to unpublished observations indicating that the TPM2 gene maps to 9p13. Hunt et al. (1995) developed a sequence tagged site (STS) for the TPM2 gene and used it to amplify DNA from somatic cell hybrids to localize the gene to human chromosome 9. The genomic clones isolated with the STS product were in turn used in fluorescence in situ hybridization to metaphase ...
